From the OpenTable editors: You know you're going to get some of the best Italian food at this legendary Joe Bastianich haunt because it's been going strong since 1998. Babbo set the stage for contemporary fine-dining Italian restaurants in the city, and you can still expect exemplary dishes like warm lamb's tongue and citrusy sweetbreads all white seated in a Greenwich Village townhouse where Led Zeppelin and Blondie play in the background.

Very good service and food. Staff was amazing. However their music choice and volume was unbearable. Apparently since the owner is/was part of a rock band they were playing rock music at high volumes. After several conversations we were able to get the volume down so we can hear each other over dinner. Staff reported that this was an issue in the past with several guests. Terrible for a restaurant to do this for an expensive meal.

Food and service were excellent but a homeless person came into the restaurant and the staff did not stop or interfere with them. Not worth the food and service if you are not safe.

As a former Otto Enoteca Pizzeria employee, I can say Babbo is a step above in refined Italian dining. The atmosphere is both lively and intimate, perfect for savoring signature dishes like the black spaghetti and goat cheese tortelloni. The ingredients are incredibly fresh, and the flavors are balanced to perfection. Babbo offers an unforgettable dining experience that I highly recommend to anyone seeking elevated Italian cuisine in NYC.

Food was amazingly delicious. The restaurant is beautiful and elegant and an oasis in the middle of our bustling city. My only negative was the music and decibel level which made conversation difficult. Still we look forward to returning.
